Oh, I forgot Repo: The Genetic Opera. It's amazing. Yet only played in 1 theater in all of Canada.

Do it! That is a great movie. (I actually wouldn't consider it underrrated, based on reviews I've read.)
Agreed on Big Fish - awesome movie.
I would also add Secondhand Lions and Serenity.

I love this movie. Very dark humor, but hilarious nonetheless.
Underrated indeed. The storytelling let alone the visual effects are underrated. In addition, so is Ewen McGregor (sp?)
Any time this movie is on, I have to watch it. If you have ever seen this movie, you will never forget:
"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father: prepare to die."
The first time I saw this my initial reaction was ***???? But after discussing it with several people and watching part of it again, I have a new appreciation for it. It is indeed underrated. However, I have not been able to look at bunny rabbits the same ever since.
The Godfather III - As much as it pains me to say this, the last installment of the trilogy really isn't a bad movie. It is just that it is no where and never will be as good as the first two.

FIDO was great! It was vastly overlooked and a fun and interesting film. Carrie-Ann Moss was really something in that film, too.

I have some movies on my must watch list now. I am sad to say but I just watched Top Gun about 2 years ago. My husband picked it up for me. I love to watch movies but rarely find time. Thanks to everyone here I have a few I can decide between now when that time comes.
Ed Wood, in which Martin Landau thoroughly earned the Oscar he received for his portrayal of Bela Lugosi.

+1 for everything you said!
Death to Smoochy
Mystery Men
Mallrats
The Man Who Wasn't There
Big Fish
One I really have to add is The Iron Giant. It's a quality animated flick.

There are so many "foreign" movies that are awesome that get totally overlooked by western audiences...
But if you wand a good Hollywood film that I believe snuck under the radar... Shadowboxer with Cuba Gooding Jnr springs to mind.

Definitely true, but half the problem is that nobody knows about these foreign films except for people that go looking for them. It's not very often that foreign movies get large coverage in other countries (except for Hollywood films).
Oh man I totally forgot about Mystery Men! Cabin Boy was another family favorite. I don't know if I'd call Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein underrated. They are both fairly iconic. Mel Brooks was the man!
